Let x be the number of pages Tayler read.
So half of the pages Tayler read is x/2.
Arlene read 10 pages more than half on the pages Tayler read, which is x/2 + 10.
The equation that represents this problem is: x/2 + 10 = 30.
Arlene read 30 pages. That is 10 pages more than half on the pages Tayler read. How many pages did Tayler read?
